THE COST OF WAR.


What Europe Spends Annually For Its
Armies and Navses.
Mr.. Lewis Appleton. of the British
and Foreign Arbitration Society. has
just published . pamphlet containing
some statistics in regard to the cost of
war. They are intended, Of course, to
aid-the cause of international arbitra-
tion and the disbanding of the inn
mense standing armies that are eating
up a large share of the substance of
Europe. The annual expenditure Of
all the European powers for their
armies and navies is tS.S67. SOC. 900.
The national debts Of Europe. which
yere incurred by war nearly alto
gether, aggregate ga. ,O57, $50.
Nearly 81. .O0O. .000. 900 annually is paid
out for interest.
There are at present actually under
arms 4.123, 675 men. and the number
trained for war and subject to call is
16, ,697. .484. Besides these there are
POI. 25S men in the navies, comprising
SO4 ironclads and monitors. and 1879
frigates. All this is sustained because
Of the ambitions and greed of . COM
paratively few men and the necessity Of
guarding against them. The working
men pay the bills and necessarily
remain in poverty. It is on them that
the burden rests. Others may fail on
account of it to be rs rich as they
otherwise would be. but the suffering
comes on the laboring classes. There
Is weighty sermon in these 6gures.-

4 Monster Universal Lathe.

One Of the finest and most powerful
tools that mechanical science has yet
achieved has just been finished at Null
house for the French navy. It is a
two-carriage universal lathe which is =
complete machine shop in itself, being
capable Of performing the most varied
operations-such as mOrtising. shap-
ing. boring and molding-with the
most perfect accuracy. 1t is wonder
fully adapted to the delicate and COM
plicated working Of pieces for armor-
plating turrcts, of helix supports. of
rudders. of cranked shafts. of pistons.
etc, for modern war vessels, and it
handles and shapes immense masses OF
steel almost As skillfully as . carpen-
ter carves small blocks Of wood. Its
weight is more than three hundred and
forty tons. and it is driven by an en-
gine of twenty-five horsepower. Com
parison Of this tool with one of sew
enty-six tons. which was . mechanical
marvel somc twenty-five years ago.

most incredible progress of our gener-

VISITING THE CONvicrS
Pathetic Scenes Witnessed Nearly Every
pAy 1t SinS.Slng.

PAy 1t Sins-Sing.
An old Irish woman. her face COW
cred with wrinkles. tottered into the
room. She was accompanied by =
young woman carrying a baby. while
little child walked by her side. They
seated themselves on one Of the
benches. and soon tall fellow en-
tered and approaching the old woman
he stopped over and kissed her. She
partly arose from her seat and putting
her hand on the mans shoulder said
brokenly: "Ah. me boy!' Then she
began to cry. and rolling her handker-
chief into a ball. mopped her eyes with
it from time to time. The man turned
to the younger woman. who was his
sister. and. Indifferent to his mothers
sorrow. began laughing and talking
and playing with the children. He
took the baby in his arms and kissed
it while It crowed over him and poked
its little fingers into his eyes.
On another bench in one corner sat
plump-looking Irish girl with pret-
ty face. She was not alone long. for
soon a convict pccrcd sheepishly
through the doorway, and recognizing
her advanced awkwardly to her side.
There was = resounding kiss. and the
two sat down and talked cheerfully to
gether. There was not a vestige of
sorrow between them. notwithstand-
ing they were both very young and
only married short time before their
misfortune overlook them. There is
no time to indulge in sorrow in a
meeting Of thirty minutes duration
once in two months. They have only
time to talk and hope, and so they
talked.
On the same bench there sat group
which ordinarily should be beyond .
thought Of hope. There were two
women. the oldest the mother of two
convicts. the youngest the wife Of one.
Both the young appeared together aud
smilingly and affectionately received
the greetings that awaited them. They
were the two Kahout brothers who
were some time ago convicted of arson
and sentenced to confinement in the
State prison for life. The oldest is only
twenty-sevcn and the youngest twenty
five, and both have nothing before
them but . long waste of years. Yet the
thirty minutes allowed was spent in
the most cheerful conversation, and
the eyes Of all cleaned happily when
the moment for the parting kiss ar
rived.
A certain convict, considerably above
the ordinary grade. was visited by his
wife. who was richly. though modestly.
dressed. She was accompanied by
their little girl In such cases the
warden supplies the man with blue
blouse to conceal the prison garb. be-
lieving that it does no harm to shield
sensitive man from unnecessary NOR
tification. while the sensibilities of lit
tie children advancing toward rea-
soning age are thereby spared disa-
greeable impressions and memories in
years to come. The convict entered
and afectionately kissed his wife and
child. with whom he converscd
throughout the thirty minutes to which
they are limited on such occasions. At
last the moment for parting came. As
he moved away the child took hold Of
his blouse. looked up appealingly into
his face and asked: Papa. when are
YOU coming home?"-N Y Tribune.

MuTllATEO MONEY.

The System Of Redemption Adopted BY the
U. 3. Treasury Department.
l am often asked whether this or that
piece Of mutilated money is rcdeemable.
I; is safe to say. unless the moneys
identity is entirely gone. that it is re-
deemable. In fact, one may say that
money in the shape OF ashes can be re-
stored. 1t is fact that after the Chi
cago fire ashes were redeemed. 1t camo
about in this way: 1t is customary in
banks to do money up in packages. say
Of SO. 900 each. and in the big fire Of
course hundreds and hundreds Of these
packages were reduced to ashes. But
the shape Of tho package remained.
and wherever the package could bo
sent on to Washington without crumbl.
ing the ashes, the money was sure to bc
replaced. 1t was done by nimble-fing-
cred women in the Treasury DEPART
ment, whose trained touch and sight
are wonderfully acute. It is well known
that the ashes of . newspaper, II damp
ened, will show traces Of the printing.
So was Il with the bills. These women
would moisten the package Of appar-
emily useless ashes, and to their experi-
cnced eve the number and character Of
the bill would at once appear as if they
had touched it with . magic wand. So
thousands and thousands Of dollars
were redeemed by these patient women.
A friend of mine, . country merchant,
afraid of banks. placed large sum OF
money in bills in stone jar on shelf
in his store. where he thought it would
be quite safe. When he went to look ut
it one day some time after. it was .
mass Of fragments. Mice had got into
the Jar and chewcd the bills into tho
minutest parts Then they had mixed
them all up. and altogether it was .
fearful looking mess. He sent cigar
box full of it to me. I forwarded it to
Washington. and what do you think !?
Out Of the 81. las originally in the pile.
. little over 81, 900 was redeemed. tho
parts beyond recall being only tho
mere fbers of the bills. So the man
lost only 500 by his foolishness. The
reclamation of such money is done en-
tirely by women. whose patience es-
pecially fits them for the monotonous
work.-Bank President Lao. in st.
louis Globe Democrat.

Every thing about the Supreme
Court is impressive and awe-inspiring.
The semi-circular chamber. with its
stately columns Of mottled Potomac
marble, its hali-domed ed roof, lighted by

the accommodation Of spectators. re-
call historic scenes, glorified as they
are viewed through the dim mist OF
time. and its walls seem ready to echo
the voices Of the past The appear
ance and bearing Of the nine elderly
gentlemen who sit in row upon the
raised platform behind . long desk.
clothed in their black silk robes. the
absolute silence enjoined upon al not
having to address the court and the

ness is transacted make one feel that

MANcEl.WURZElS.
a Crop Whose valae - Food Far Sarpeseee
That Of Corn.

That Of Corn.
When preparing for crop OF man.
gels. choose a good piece OF land.
that has a deep soil. and is litflo
sandy so that it will not bake up hard
when the summer sun comes on 1t, bue
it must be dry and not boggy. As
early in the spring as it can be got in
good order to work use a roller to
crush the Jumps down fine. before fur
rowing out. From feet to feet 8
inches from center to center is good
distance between the furrows. and tho
seeds are dropped about 8 inches apart
in order to let the hoe pass between.
In manuring for this crop l use 40
loads to the acre. of good rotten
manure. prefer that made from corn
fodder. rs it is less likely to have seeds
of so many kinds Of weeds that are in
manure made by feeding hay. 1t is
better to be year old or more. as then
the young plants will flourish in a dry
spell. After the land is furrowcd out,
haul the manure and let it be spread
right i'm the bottoms of the drills, and
not too far ahead of the covering up
again.
Plant the seeds close after the cover
ing of the manure; 2 or 5 seeds in each
place with the finger and thumb. II
more seed no harm done. as in the soft
fine soil they can easily be pulled out in
the thinning. for which the best time is
when the plants are large enough. and
good soaking rain has come. Be care
full not to loosen the earth too much
around the plant left. rs generally after
= good shower Of rain the sun shines
hot and would dry up the young roots.
Plant from to 8! pounds of seed 10 tho
acre. Buy the seed Of good reliable
dealers. After the seed is planted it is
a good plan to roll the rows, SD rs to
press the earth down to keep it from
drying around the seeds. and the seed
will start to grow the sooper. In thin
ming out leave one to = place. Tho
plants that are pulled out will do to fill
in the places where the seed missed
growing. In doing this be sure and havo
all the roots down as straight as possible.
If the plants are of good size cut OF the
tops of the outside leaves rs they would
be sure to wilt and fall over on tho
grOand. The straighter the newly set
plants can be kent the better they will
do.
During the last of the summer when
grass is scarce. strip of all the out
side leaves and feed to the cows or
sheep. This will help the roots to
develop in size. and also furnish feed
for the cattle. let them stay in tho
ground as long as the frost stays away.
but before the hard frosts come get
them up and store them away wherc
they can not freeze and where lean get
to them in the winter for use. A good
way to do, if the cellar is small. is to
pile them up against the end Of the
barn. secure them from frost on tho
outside. and have q small doorway cut
through from inside. II fastened every
time it is used the roots will be kept
from freezing aud the cows or ewes in
lambing time will have needed food.
Let any one try it and he will say it
pays better to grow one acre OF roots
than four acres of corn. would rather
have them for my cows than six acres
of corn.-J. Mill, IN Ohio Farmer.
